2025 Best of Reel

From Dirt to Steel, Fleets, Furniture & Faith: My 2025 in 120 Seconds

Every year, I like to pause, look back, and ask a simple question:

“Where did my camera take me this year, and who trusted me with their story?”

That’s what this new 120-second reel is about.

It’s not a full recap of every project.

It’s a quick highlight of the work that stuck with me in 2025 – the kind of shoots you still think about when the gear is packed and the lights are off.

1. Steel-to-Sky Construction Stories

The year really kicked off in February on active job sites.

Boots on, hard hat on, dust in the air.

I was there as big projects grew from bare dirt to steel and structure.

These construction shoots are some of my favorites because nothing is staged. Crews are working, cranes are moving, and things change by the minute. My job is to keep up and find angles that show:

• How massive the builds really are

• How many people it takes to make them happen

• How the finished structure will serve real people down the road

Those shots made it into the reel because they capture scale, sweat, and momentum all at once.

2. GPS Tracking & Fleets on the Move

Another big part of my year was riding along with work trucks and service vehicles at sunrise.

These projects focused on GPS tracking and fleet management—showing how companies keep their crews on schedule and their assets on the move. The story here wasn’t just “here’s some tech.” It was:

• Crews rolling out early to hit their first jobs

• Dispatch teams keeping an eye on routes and safety

• Business owners depending on that data to keep everything running smoothly

In the reel, those quick shots of trucks and screens represent a bigger idea: the invisible systems that keep everyday work on track.

3. Furniture Built for Real Life

From fleets, we shift to furniture.

Not showroom-only pieces, but furniture made for real workplaces and waiting rooms—spaces people actually use every day.

These shoots were about more than nice-looking chairs and tables. They were about:

• Comfort during long days

• Design that fits how people really move through a space

• Quality that holds up to constant use

In the video, you’ll see clean, simple visuals: hands touching surfaces, people using the space, the way everything fits together. It’s about the feeling of a well-built room.

4. Honest Patient Stories

Some of the most meaningful work this year came from patient stories.

These were projects about real people facing real health challenges—sharing their fear, their grit, and what it looks like to get a second chance.

No actors. No scripts. Just honest conversations and careful imagery to support them.

Those moments made it into the reel because they ground everything else. On the other side of construction, fleets, and furniture… you find people whose lives are changed by the spaces and services we film.

5. A Christian-Based Narrative With Real Tension

The reel closes with something different:

a proof-of-concept for a Christian-based series about a teacher pulled from his classroom in front of his students.

It’s a heavier story.

There’s tension, conflict, and faith under pressure.

This project stood out because it blended narrative filmmaking with real-world themes—asking what it means to live out your beliefs when life doesn’t go as planned.

A Simple Thank You

This video is my way of saying:

If you called me this year and trusted me with your people and your name — thank you.

You didn’t just “order a video.”

You let me into your world for a little while.

I’m grateful for every construction site, every fleet yard, every showroom, every patient story, and every narrative shoot we pulled off together in 2025.

I’m ready to roll into next year

and see what we build together.
